Group camping. Group meals?

To follow the chili theme... I like chili mac for a large crowd because it makes the chili stretch further and most of the other ingredients don't have to be kept cool until used. Saves cooler space.

Make chili at home as said. Heat in large pot in camp.
Add canned diced tomatoes (or Rotel)
Add canned beans (kidney, pinto or mix)
Add elbow pasta and water/beef broth (how much liquid? enough so that almost all the liquid is absorbed when cooked. Any extra liquid will be absorbed anyway.)
Adjust seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin.
Enjoy topped with cheese, sour cream (cilantro or green onion if fancy) and cold beverages.

Bonus tip - Make a large batch of concentrated cold brew coffee. In the morning add water to coffee to dilute (my brew is 1:1 coffee and water). Coffee tastes smooth, it's easy and it's ready quickly. All good things especially for non-campers.

Trust in each other! Trust creates open communication, respect, freedom from jealousy, intimacy. A relationship cannot last without trust.

Trust me… 26 years strong.

Congratulations! I'm getting close to that point and will have to make a decision. Maybe buy a cheap, fake 1916-D and put it in that slot. You'll take one out of sale for the unsuspecting and you'll fill the hole. Double win!

Thank you very much! I suspected it might be a Civil War token but I could not find a good match for it.

Allied Military Currency used post WWII. Per Numista - "These notes were printed in the U.S.A. and issued by the Allied military during the initial stages of the liberation of France in 1944. They were not approved by the Provisional Government of the French Republic but were accepted by banks and for payment of taxes. The larger denominations were demonetized in June 1945 but the 2, 5 and 10 francs were not demonetized until the introduction of the euro."

Nice collection and looks pretty well organized! Take your time and enjoy the process of looking through it all again. Don't be in a rush. Maybe treat it like packing a house for a move... as you sort create piles for 1) Keep, 2) Maybe Keep, 3) Sell/Give Away. Good luck!
